  • Standards for Office Based Anesthesia Practice
    Standards for Office Based Anesthesia Practice Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) have long been the predominant anesthesia professional and leaders in providing anesthesia services in physicians’ offices. As the professional organization representing nurse anesthetists, the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) advocates high quality, appropriate standards of care for all patients in all settings, including the office based practice setting. As in other settings, CRNAs provide anesthesia working with physicians such as surgeons, anesthesiologists and, where authorized, podiatrists, dentists and other healthcare professionals. The AANA has been at the forefront in establishing clinical practice standards, including patient monitoring standards. The standards for care in the office based setting are congruent with the AANA Scope and Standards for Nurse Anesthesia Practice and are intended to: 1. Provide assistance to CRNAs and other practitioners by promoting a common base for the delivery of quality patient care in the office based setting. 2. Assist the public in understanding what to expect from the practitioner. 3. Support the basic rights of patients. Although the standards are intended to promote high quality patient care, they cannot assure specific outcomes. There may be exceptional patient-specific circumstances that require deviation from a standard. The CRNA shall document any deviations from these standards (e.g., surgical interventions or procedures that invalidate application of a monitoring standard) and state the reason for the deviation on the patient’s anesthesia record. Anesthesia in the Office Setting There are some unique and specific responsibilities that should be considered prior to administration of anesthesia in the office setting. When considering an office based practice, anesthesia professionals should determine if there are appropriate resources to manage the various levels of anesthesia for the planned surgical procedures and the condition of the patient.

    USE OF HUMAN PATIENT SIMULATION TO TEACH DIFFICULT AIRWAY MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY IN THE NURSE ANESTHESIA STUDENT by Karen Ellis Lucisano A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Services Research Charlotte 2012 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Laura Talbot _____________________________ Dr. Lucille Travis _____________________________ Dr. Claudia Flowers ______________________________ Dr. Joseph Coyle ____________________________ Dr. Adam Harbaugh ii ©2012 Karen Ellis Lucisano ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT KAREN ELLIS LUCISANO. Use of human patient simulation to teach difficult airway management and improve patient safety in the nurse anesthesia student. (Under the direction of DR. LAURA A. TALBOT) Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine if scenario-based training (SB) was more effective than task-based (TB) training in teaching a difficult airway algorithm to nurse anesthesia student. Methods: Participants were second year nurse anesthesia students. Simulation was used as both a training and testing modality. Subjects were given a 2 scenario simulation based pre-test and a written test, randomized to receive either 1) lecture and task-based training or 2) lecture and scenario-based training. They were then post-tested with the same 2 simulation scenarios and an objective matched written posttest. Performance was videotaped and evaluated by 2 expert observers based on performance against an idealized algorithm, amount and time of desaturation, and time to secure the airway. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and students-t test. Levels of statistical significance were set at α of .05 (one-tail).

  • A System for Anesthesia Drug Administration Using Barcode Technology: the Codonics Safe Label System and Smart Anesthesia Manager™
    RESEARCH REPORT A System for Anesthesia Drug Administration Using Barcode Technology: The Codonics Safe Label System and Smart Anesthesia Manager™ Srdjan Jelacic, MD,* Andrew Bowdle, MD, PhD,* Bala G. Nair, PhD,† Dolly Kusulos, RPh,† Lynnette Bower, PharmD,† and Kei Togashi, MD* BACKGROUND: Many anesthetic drug errors result from vial or syringe swaps. Scanning the barcodes on vials before drug preparation, creating syringe labels that include barcodes, and scanning the syringe label barcodes before drug administration may help to prevent errors. In contrast, making syringe labels by hand that comply with the recommendations of regulatory agencies and standards-setting bodies is tedious and time consuming. A computerized sys- tem that uses vial barcodes and generates barcoded syringe labels could address both safety issues and labeling recommendations. METHODS: We measured compliance of syringe labels in multiple operating rooms (ORs) with the recommendations of regulatory agencies and standards-setting bodies before and after the introduction of the Codonics Safe Label System (SLS). The Codonics SLS was then combined with Smart Anesthesia Manager software to create an anesthesia barcode drug administration system, which allowed us to measure the rate of scanning syringe label barcodes at the time of drug administration in 2 cardiothoracic ORs before and after introducing a coffee card incentive. Twelve attending cardiothoracic anesthesiologists and the OR satellite pharmacy participated. RESULTS: The use of the Codonics SLS drug labeling system resulted in >75% compliant syringe labels (95% confidence interval, 75%–98%). All syringe labels made using the Codonics SLS system were compliant. The average rate of scanning barcodes on syringe labels using Smart Anesthesia Manager was 25% (730 of 2976) over 13 weeks but increased to 58% (956 of 1645) over 8 weeks after introduction of a simple (coffee card) incentive (P < 0.001).
